The effort is coming at an unsure juncture for Texas Democrats, who had high hopes for a historic breakthrough in 2020 — and received the national funding to make it possible — but came up very short. Story by TexasTribune.
Coffee mugs were on sale at the Texas Democratic Convention on July 15 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.An alliance of heavy-hitting donors is closing in on a goal of raising $25 million for the 2022 election cycle, looking to build lasting infrastructure for the state’s progressives as Texas Democrats continue to fight for a way back to power.
The list of the Texas Future Project’s beneficiaries include groups like Annie’s List and Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, which work to elect more Democratic women who support abortion rights. There’s Jolt and LUPE Votes, which are focused on building more Latino political power, especially among young people. And there are beneficiaries affiliated with the labor movement, like the Workers Defense Project and Texas Organizing Project.
Agho-Otoghile, who ran O’Rourke’s 2020 presidential campaign in Texas, said Texas Future Project’s funders are undeterred by the current headwinds, noting that part of the group’s mission is understanding “the wins will not be cycle-to-cycle.” She pointed to four “pillars” that donors are focused on: voter registration, voter contact, candidate recruitment and issue advocacy.
The group is set up as a non-tax-exempt corporation in which members are required to give a certain amount of money on a regular basis. The group then advises donors on the best way to spend their money with partner organizations.
